The duty free store is the perfect place to pick up some souvenirs or gifts for loved ones at home. Here, you could buy some shortbread for yourself and some haggis for whoever’s been feeding your pets. Well, you wouldn’t give away shortbread.

Prestwick airport the gateway to...

Galloway Forest Park

Distance: 30 miles

Scotland is known worldwide for many things, but its spectacular landscape is responsible for drawing visitors in their thousands every year. Take some time to see why in this national park which is home to woodlands, meadows, fishing spots, biking trails and some of the best dark sky spots in Europe for stargazing.

Isle of Arran

Distance: 19 miles

Treat your hire car to a ride on the Ardrossan ferry over to the Isle of Arran. This island is the largest in the Firth of Clyde and home to Brodick Castle and its Country Park, abundant wildlife including deer and basking sharks along the coast, traditional villages offering warm welcomes and freshly cooked fare - and if you time it right, the chance to take part in a Ceilidh dance.

Glasgow

Distance: 35 miles

After taking some time to check out rural and traditional Scotland, why not top off your holiday with a city break in a very modern Glasgow? Shop 'til you drop in the city centre, treat yourself to an expensive steak in the West End and catch a show while you’re there - or dance the night away in one of the many clubs or bars. You’ll go home feeling like you really have seen and done it all.
